Project Overview

I have started this blog to chronicle what is easily the most ambitious, likely longest, and certainly unnecessary projects of my life. Determining whom is my all time favorite film director. Now I understand that most people when confronted with a task like this normally rack their brain remembering favorite films and usually pick the first director they come across twice or perhaps dig a little deeper and watch a few films by some of the greats and then make a choice and call it a day.

But (unfortunately for me and anyone subjected to the future of this blog) that’s not my style. I have instead created the first (at least to my knowledge and I am sure as hell not going to look into whether it’s true or not) There Can Be Only One March (starting in July) Madness Director Showdown To The Death!!!...(not to the death).

We (and by we I mean me and my unfortunate co-blogger and girlfriend Batgirl who didn’t tell me to stop) have selected the 96 all time most recognizable/decorated/hyped directors of all time, placed them in a giant Tournament Seeded Bracket where they will face off 1-1 placing their best 2 films against one another and the winner moving on until a champion has been crowned.

Now a quick math breakdown has shown that with an 2 movie minimum per round per director and assuming an average running time of 2 hours per film were looking at a minimum of 760 hours of movie watching and I’m pretty sure that’s conservative.

Now I’m sure you have tons of questions: What Are the Rules? What Director’s Were Picked? Where Can I Complain About What Director’s Were Picked? What Qualifications Did You Use For Seeding The Tournament? What The Hell Is Seeding? Did You Make Some Sort of Giant Tournament Bracket For This And Hang It In Your Living Room? All these Questions and more, in fact many more, in fact far too many more questions to be answered in the posts to come. So tune in next week (or whenever I next post) Same Completely Under-Qualified Movie Critic Time, Same Completely Under-Qualified Movie Critic Channel.
